Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 8:54 AM to 2:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The tide heights, while elevated, do not reach the levels associated with major flooding in the past. The absence of NOAA flood risk data for this period means reliance on historical comparisons and provided weather data. Given the current conditions, there is a moderate risk of minor coastal flooding, particularly during high tide times.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN Highest risk near high tide at 10:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling of water in susceptible coastal areas, but significant flooding is unlikely.
The barometric pressure is well above the historical threshold for severe flooding events, and the tide height does not approach the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The weather data indicates relatively stable conditions, reducing the likelihood of flooding despite the occurrence of high tides.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible with inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk around high tide at 11:54 AM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of parks, walkways, and roads close to the water's edge. Some areas may experience temporary water accumulation.
On this day, the barometric pressure is lower than on previous days but still above critical thresholds associated with severe flooding events. The tide height is also lower than those seen during major floods. However, given that the pressure is closer to concerning levels and considering the high tide forecast, there is a slightly increased risk of minor coastal flooding compared to Day 2.
Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
